About BPHO

The Black Pre-Health Organization is a non-profit organization at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) dedicated to increasing the MATRICULATION and RETENTION of traditionally underrepresented pre-health students while also servicing our community with information regarding health, education, and holistic development.

It is our ultimate goal to MOTIVATE and SUPPORT students to pursue a health care profession to assist and increase the amount of minority representation in the healthcare industry. The Black Pre-Health Organization serves as a catalyst for accomplishing these goals by inviting respected speakers from UCLA and the greater healthcare community to speak on topics ranging from managing the academic rigors of science classes, internship opportunities and grad/professional school interviews. Two of our most critical outreach components are the Black and Latino Aids Project (BLAIDS) and the Black Hypertension Project (BHP) which work to teach and serve the greater Los Angeles community.
